It might however EPEL relies on a large amount of infrastructure that is tied deep in Fedora. Trying to 'move' it over to CentOS is not easy without a lot of that infrastructure also moving over to CentOS or starting from scratch over in CentOS. It also would take a lot of time and effort that no one wants to fund but would like people to do for them for free. That and every time it is brought up, various groups want to use it as the time to restart every argument they lost sometime in the past from repotags to putting it all in /opt to the logo looks like a horse's ass.
